KALEIDOSCOPE exhibits a collection of the artist's oil paintings, screen prints and drawings, some of which have never been shown before. Mappouridis creates hyper coloured, textile driven narratives often in the form of portraiture.
KALEIDOSCOPE explores intimate moments from the past alongside the immortalisation of time specific traces such as decor, trends and technology. Provoking the work is the recognisable relationship between these traces and the culture of specific decades. The artistâs most recent pieces delve into the sensuality and iconic culture of pin up girls.
